Ouija - 01/11/2014
When a twenty something girl dabbles with a Ouija board, something is woken with malicious intent.
Concluding my Halloween film fest (Annabelle, Babadook, Ghostbusters), I had my good scares from The Babadook, predicatables from Annabelle and just shear genius from the Classic, so what did this next film have in store?
I was a little surprised by Ouija, with the Platinum Dunes production team behind it (Mr Bay) and the predictable trailer. Ouija is actually an entertaining 90 minute horror film with a few decent sections, although it still uses the cheap shock horror tactic of so many films of late.
when a girl commits suicide, her best friend, boyfriend and 3 others all gather to see if they can communicate with her through the Ouija. When they are presented with the words "Hi Friend", they think they have made contact, but is it really her from the other side or someone pretending.
Not up there with the best horror of the year, but far better than most
